Hello all,
Yesterday I was trespassed from my sons little league games simply because I chose to open carry on such a nice day. The location of the games was at a public park in Tenino Wa. For several hours I had been at the park and had no complaints from any of the parents there nor any one else until I went to use the restroom and a man approached me and told me I needed to leave. He said he would call the cops if I did not. My response was that I was using the restroom and to go ahead and call the cops. Roughly 10-15 min later a Tenino PD Officer responds and I talk to her and she was very polite and really didn't have a problem with me being there at the park however the man who called told her expressly to trespass me and arrest me if I came back. I wasn't there to cause a scene so I walked with her over to her car me tlked on the way. She told me that I was correct that I was fine to carry in the park but because the fields were in use by the organization that runs the little league that I couldn't be near the fields during there games. I was trespassed from the game but not the park so I spent the rest of the time with my daughter on the playground. The trespass notice states that I'm trespassed from all Larch Mountain little league events but not any specific place. Quite a few of the other parents were not happy with me being trespassed and several thanked me for carrying that day.
My question for you the forum members is do I have any legal recourse as all the games are played on public park fields and does an organization have the right to trespass me from public land they are using or am I pretty much screwed from being able to attend my sons games. If I should contact an attorney are there any good recommendations?
Thanks for any help or advice
Robert
